Chapter 184: Monday Morning

I've spent the majority of my weekend glued to my phone, waiting to hear from Clara but by Sunday I'd convinced myself that she wasn't going to get in touch. I'd sent flowers, Chinese food, balloons... I even left a post it note on her apartment door telling her she was beautiful but she ignored it all.

Heck, I almost bought her a puppy but I thought that might be going a step too far, so I left a goldfish in a glass fishbowl on her doorstep instead. But still, nothing, not a single word and now I'm sat in the board room at work. The only thing I didn't do was barge into Thorpe's on Saturday and demand Clara's attention.
